Send an e-mail (mesaseca@netscape.com) or call us (575-523-5489) or come in to the store and let us know which birds are showing up in your yard or that you have sighted and we will post your bird sightings here and in the store. You don't have to give your name, but a neighborhood or area in or out of town would be helpful. The birds you tell us about don't have to be unusual or rare, it could be the first hummingbird you see or that the goldfinches are their bright yellow again, or that you have nesting Phoebes. We're always thrilled to hear about your birds.
Need help identifying a bird or just want to find out more about the bird you've seen, go to www.rightbird.com.
